I agree a PM is more suitable and reckon I'll buy one within 12 months but as a cheaper alternative the Mini makes a great stop-gap.

You don't have to go straight from a mini to a PM. What about an iMac if you need more power? :)

OWC -- Hall of Fame. They've never done me wrong.

We Love Macs -- Hall of Fame. Again, never a problem.

PowerBookMedic I wouldn't put on either list. I've had positive experiences with them and negative experiences. They seem to handle the little things fine, but when it comes to DVD drives, be careful.

All you have to do is look at "About this Mac" to find out whether it's ddr2 or 3...

I have a 23" and haven't had any problems with it. I have seen some pink ones in the store, but mine has been fine. Even if you got one and it was pink, just calibrate it and you should be fine.

Seeing as it didn't start until a day ago and I've had DP2 installed for longer than that, I'm beginning to wonder if it's not correlated;

Lots of results if you just google.

I was looking in the developer forums. That is where you should search since it is a preview release. The people there will be able to assist better.

iFixit tore it down and there is a spot to install a SSD

I have a Blue/white G3 at home and I need to upgrade, but can't afford to get what I would really like (a G5). I have 21" apple monitor, keyboard and mouse. And, I use all the graphics software: Quark, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. Does anyone think this the lowest model of the mini macs is a good purchase for a couple of years? I know it will be out of date quicker than some of my other options. But, my monitor is really good, so I think I shouldn't go the emac or imac route. Any suggestions or thoughts out there? I appreciate it.

Just called around some more, it seems they have the base 27" iMac for $1615 and in stock in several locations.

The top stock 27" iMac isn't in stock anywhere near me (Austin, TX), but it is on sale for $1899, and you can order it online.

I've got my name on a base 27" iMac, and look forward to picking it up after work!

hmmm I'm asking if anyone has this case to rate the slip in and out of pocket. Ifound the rubbers on the griffin reveal frame to be impossible to slip in and out and gave up with the case. if this has the same rubber I'll avoid it and pick up the incase instead

In line again on this fine Saturday morning. About ten people at this time. 7:41am.

How many people there now?

This is a new one I have never seen. This happens in both Safari and Firefox, so I am assuming it is an issue with my computer. Starting a few days ago, I noticed these little yellow tool tips or popup boxes appear with news clips. You can not click on it and they only show up when you refresh or start a new page. It does not happen always when you over over a hyperlink either!!

This is the strangest thing I have seen and I can not find anything online about this. I am annoyed by this and have no idea how to make it stop!

Any advice??

Apple always credits responsible reporters of security issues.

They don't always. Just like they don't always acknowledge security issues within OSX.

Oh my god I was literally JUST about to post a thread on the no-quit-chrome problem when I saw this thread... hope you don't mind me hijacking, but I'll just state a couple of things that happened:

~woudn't quit, so I loaded force quit from the apple logo in the corner, which wouldn't even do it on the first try, but it quit on the second force quit
~reinstalling seems to solve the problem for the first couple openings of the app but then the problem arises again
~running the new beta, but I doubt that has anything to do with it cuz I saw THIS testimony, so....

ANyway, I might just downgrade back cuz Chrome is my main browse, but maybe I'd just switch to safari... it DOES have some improvements in 10.7 :D

I had that same problem yesterday. I had to force quit and then after restarting I never had the problem again (Mostly because I use Safari 5.1 much more often.) :D

Good work!
I myself am about to help another friend return to the folds.
She used to use a Mac years ago I believe, and I've been re-educating her over the past few weeks. She i believe is now keen to buy a Powerbook!

Only dilemma for me is to decide whether to help her buy a refurb or new one!

I hope that she will be successful with the purchase. The refurb is a good deal for those that want to save some money.

Skype caused my 13-UMBA CPU temp to rise to 80C, installed Coolbook and now runs about 70-73C. Normal CPU temp at idle is 43C, and 38C with Coolbook (at .92v settings). Interestingly, when I run Skype on my Dell Latitude with an i5-540M processor/4MBram, the CPU only heats up from 50C to 55C. So the Skype temp effect is much greater on the MBA, probably because of the C2D is working harder.

The Panasonic G2 images are much better than the in camera JPG results.

Personally, I think it's a refresh rate issue which I think is a software issue. If I put any of my LCDs on the wrong refresh rate, they have identical lines to those of the powerbook.

You can also see the ambient light sensor pointed out in the User Manual (wasn't mentioned in 2010 models).

i wonder if this is a friend/relative of teasac's....

hardware does not make the movie

that's just genius. ;)

I honestly don't remember what website this popped up on, but Safari started downloading this MacSecurity.mpkg and it ran instantly and bypassed inputting my password? I couldn't really stop it
What exactly did it do, that you couldn't stop? I understand it launched, but you would have had to respond to it for it to complete the installation.

Also, this isn't a virus. There has never been a virus in the wild that affects Mac OS X since it was released 10 years ago. The handful of trojans that exist can be easily avoided with some education and common sense and care in what software you install:

Yeah, I had a typo, but Hellhammer had what it "should be" for a good 16:10 Golden Ratio. :)

It really is! The whole world is built on Phi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmaVqkR0ZXg) ;)

You know I just pointed out that common mistake, typo. I didnt laugh or anything.
But now I shat brix...

It's completely fine to correct people, even if it was just a typo or other innocent mistake. I don't mind if someone corrects me, as long as he is right :) You also added something to the discussion so it wasn't a "useless" comment either.

Lesson: Don't install preview/beta OS over your original OS when you are relying on that machine.

I thought this was mandatory information. Come on, why would you ever run a beta on your everyday computer?

Makes sense to me..

thanks for the advice... unfortunately warranty was up in july, but luckily it's still working fine... it's as if it worked the problem out of its system or something haha. I'm just gonna hope that I keep having good luck and wait for the mactels :cool:

I was gonna say you'd be a pretty sad bastard to go for a shirt only, but I'm sure if your buying something else and explain your situation, they'll oblige you.

Common... you could say that about any launch event. Why que when you could just go the next day... the fun is in being around like minded people.
